Time for a New York State tartan?

[Woodsheal]

The state bird is the eastern bluebird, the state tree is the maple, the state fruit is the apple, the state insect is the ladybug, the state gem is the garnet, the state bush is the lilac

I think more blue - perhaps as the dominant background color... with stripes/components representing the state symbols... some very nice colors there....

Incorporating so many elements would really yield a "busy" tartan, IMHO!
Lots of folks like predominently blue tartans. I'm not one of them. (Like many of my Texas friends, I think the "Bluebonnet" sett is ghastly!) I much prefer the green ground, as it emphasizes the rural aspect of our state (an aspect many non-New Yorkers find surprising!)....

A green ground would be fine, too.... I was just looking at it from the kilt construction perspective... as it is (and I do like some of the color choices) - it may be difficult to pleat to the stripe...

I may play around today and at least give an idea of what I am talking about...
